Al, you numpty, the Spitfire was a monocoque construction while the Hurricane was frame and canvas, superficially similar but technologically worlds apart, having said that the Hurri had a dstinct advantage over the Spit in that it was nuch easier to repair and could take a lot more punishment, and although thge Spit gets all the glory, the Hurricane was in fact, statistically a much more successful aircraft. Oh yes, and the wings were a different shape.
